Talk Description

Are you feeling overwhelmed with your workload and finding there are just not enough hours in the day? Are you keen to get promoted or take on additional responsibility, but unsure how you could manage it all? Through the medium of lego, Paula will tell the story of how she handled a promotion in a previous role which doubled the number of teams she was responsible for. She will share the advice that she received from a leadership coach and how she applied it, describing what worked for her as well as what didn't. This talk will provide tips for how to keep your workload at a sustainable level, as well as advice on taking on a leadership role.
